Onkyo TX-SR703 clicking noise

[BSB]

My reciever makes a clicking noise like when changing from video sources. It does this at random when in use. It does not change anything just clicks. Do I have something connected wrong or is this normal?

My Onkyos make a click when the receiver is first turned on because it ramps up the volume over a few seconds. When you hear the click, it is fully on. Strangely it's something I've come to rely on.

It will also make a click when you change inputs.

BUT, it should not click randomly during normal listening after it is fully on and you have selected the input you want.

Thats what I thought. I guess I will just have to deal with the random clicking. It only happens now and then.

I have an 803 which will do it once in a while. It's the audio processor making changes to the audio input. I'll notice it on DVD's I'm watching when the recorded format of the disc changes ex. double layer to single layer. Sometimes I'll even see a hitch in the picture also. Nothing wrong with the A/V so don't worry. On the 703/803 we can lock in the audio format in the advance set-up menu. You can try that for your different inputs...DVD,CD etc. So whenever you use that input it will always default to your user setting and is locked. I haven't tried it yet but give it a try if the amps' clicking noise bugs ya.

I have an Onkyo 674 that randomly clicks as well. I mean it softly clicks (or 'ticks') every once in a while if its just sitting there.... even in standby. This is in addition to the standard audio source switching and turning it on clicks.

There's a few threads over at avsforum.com in the audio area -> receivers that mention this Onkyo phenomenon. seems like no worries... love my Onkyo!

I have an Onkyo 602 AV receiver and it does the same thing. As mentioned above you can lock in the audio format for each input signal, if you don't it is factory set to "auto" which will cause the receiver to "click" as it changes to the different audio signal inputs it sees. Watch the display screen on the receiver, every time you hear it click you'll notice the display will change to reflect the new input signal it's seeing. I notice it a lot when I'm watching a show that is broadcast in Dolby and then when it goes to a commercial it will switch to stereo. So there is nothing really wrong, it's just the "auto" feature switching around to match the input signal.
